1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: Is some good news for us on this Wednesday. Violent

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: crime has increased by has increased by two percent. Sorry,

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: this is not good news. Well, what do you say, decrease?

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: It should be decreased by two percent for the first

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: time since twenty eighteen. New police data shows ram raids

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: down fifty eight percent, serious assaults were down one percent. Sorry,

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: retail crime itself has trended upwards with a twelve percent

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: increased in theft. So Dairy Business Owners Group chairpis and

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: Sunny Kashew joins you right now, Hello.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: Sunny, Cure Andrew, how are you good?

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: So with the ram raids down and the serious assaults down,

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: can we say that the tough on crime approach has worked.

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's a great beginning and a relief for retailers

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: and dairy owners. As you know, they lived in fear

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: every day for years, you know. And people are feeling

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: the difference between the two governments, you know, a soft

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: on crime approach versus getting tough on crime. So, as

18
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: you rightly said, the ramblates are down. The the violent crime,

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: which was increase fifty one percent between twenty eighteen and

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, has a first time for since twenty eighteen.

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: And also the back to basics model in the policing model,

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: it is working. As you could see now the aggravator

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: robberies are popped and you could see Auckland CVD. It's

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: you know, looks much safer than it used to be.

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: And and here is also a difference I guess between

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: two police ministers, you know, Ginny Anderson until twenty twenty three,

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: who basically did nothing and it was all talks, but

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: versus Mark Mitchell, who is making a difference. So but

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: there's a lot more to be done. And I think

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: there's a broad beginning.

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Could we argue that with the violent climb down, the

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: ram raids down, the serious assaults down, those things that

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: that has happened, But those bag dectors, those bad dudes

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: are now actually going back to the old things. They're

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: doing burglaries, that they're doing theft and they're doing shoplifting.

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Well, look, this will take time and also there are

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: new solutions which would be required. You know, one side,

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: police are doing good job operationally, it's making a difference,

39
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: but we need to make sure that justice system also delivers.

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: The justice system need to be overhauled. They need to

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: get tough and there need to be consequences. You know,

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: it's a time for a zero tolerance approach to crime offenders.

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: Regardless of their age, they must face real consequences for

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 2: the actions.

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400
